Three animal caretakers have adopted one-month-old polar bear cub, Siku, at the Scandinavian Wildlife Park in Denmark. After discovering that Siku's mother could not produce enough milk to allow him to survive, wildlife activists took him from his mother when he was barely bigger than a rat, according to a report from the Huffington Post.

Siku, which means "ice" in the native language of Greenland, is still blind and deaf, but has already developed a stronge urge to feed. A video showcasing the little cub documents him wriggling around in the arms of one of the caretakers, suckling on his finger and slurping milk from a bottle.

For the first year of his life, Siku will need 24-hour care, split between the three designated animal specialists. Tiny Siku may spark a cult following like the beloved cub Knut, who was raised at the Berlin Zoological Garden. Knut tragically died at the age of four this year after suffering a drowning incident in his pool at the zoo.

Siku and the rest of the polar bear species face a growing danger of extinction due to the hazardous effects of global warming on the earth. Those with a particular interest in the species can visit Canadian lands in Manitoba to witness polar bears in their natural habitat.
